Invisible Melody
Chapter One. Witness.
When people ask me what I want to do in life I can only look at them with self loathing. What life? I don't have a life, well at least a life like they have, normal. It was something I had wished to have since the sixth grade when the first, as I like to call it, phase hit. It was something I had to keep hidden… as a matter of fact, something I'm still hiding. If anyone can remember the sixth grade it would be me. While other kids had to worry about minor changes, you probably remember those videos…I had to worry about a monstrosity that would blow the normal children's "major phases" up in their faces.
The first few months I would experience some type of heightened sense; at first it was my sight then my hearing, so on and so forth. Later on I started to develop changes in my appearance, my hair became healthier, shiner-it even had luster. My skin turned milky pale and I became stronger, faster then your average human, my body shape changed into something I guess you can say lover than a Victoria's Secret model. I had to admit to myself I was the most stunning being to walk the earth, not to be vain or anything but I was. But time passed and people where beginning to discover my appearance didn't change, I was frozen in time as a 17 year old. The days flew as I began to harness my powers, slowly, one by one. The only powers I didn't have were mind reading and fortune telling. Months passed and I moved to Forks, as much as I hated it here it wasn't just good for Mom but it was good for me, I had finally discovered how to hide my appearance, turning me into something of a plain Jane, hiding my new developed wings with ease. But Charlie of course knew what was happening and asked me while I maintained my disguise, even at my new home.
I wondered why I always kept my disguise, it wasn't like I was afraid of being discovered, after all I could just zap their memory and things would be ok. I let my mind wander while I sat waiting for Edward to return from hunting. Home, sitting in my room I thought about my pass and my future, even the possibly of telling Edward what I was…but the truth of the matter is, I didn't even know what I was. I felt so selfish, after all he told me about his family and their vampirism, he let me into his world while I left him in the dark, letting him think that I was human. I sighed and moved into the kitchen still pondering if I was going to tell him, after all it only seemed fair. I began wiping the counters going through the list of mindless chores while I started off a conversation that would give him free passage to the truth.
"We need to talk…" I said the words out loud, hearing them role off my tongue with difficultly, it was the classic breakup line, and there was no way I was using that.
"Edward, I haven't been completely honest with you…" I again said the words glancing at the spoon I was currently washing, why does it have to be this hard? I stood there from a few minutes, staring at the spoon like it would give me some type of refuge.
"Edward, I have something I need to tell you." There, clean and simple. I suddenly felt to cold arms circle my waist and musical laughter sound off in my ear.
"What is it my love?" He asked staring down at me with butterscotch eyes. It was now or never, "Edward, if I was anything but human would you hate me?" I slowly broke his hold on me, standing at an arms reach while I watched his face mold into a mask of confusion.
"I could never hate you Bella..." He stopped and looked at me, no doubt trying to read my mind, I winced this was going to be a lot harder than I thought, and I was afraid. No one was ever known the secret I hid behind a costume.
"I hope your right." I said and took two steps back.
"Bella you know, I…" Before he could say anything I took a few more steps backward.
"Edward, don't move." I watched him become a living statue in front of my very eyes; I looked at him one last time before I let the light engulf my ever-changing shell.
